Reiki is a healing technique which is used to enhance wellbeing and to reduce stress and tension. Reiki also relieves pain and discomfort in the body.

The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words "rei" meaning universal and "ki" meaning life force.

The aim of the Reiki practitioner is to draw on this source of energy and allow it to flow through their hands to the person who is in need of the healing. The client is fully clothed throughout the healing session.

Reiki is also a powerful tool for personal growth and for improving quality of life. The techniques for using Reiki are easily learned, but first Reiki must be passed on through an attunement or initiation by a Reiki Master. Once you have the attunement you have Reiki for life. At its initial stage Reiki is for self-healing and for helping friends and family.

Alison is also a practitioner in Karuna Reiki

Karuna Reiki has it's roots in Usui and Tibetan Reiki and was developed by William Lee Rand. Karuna Reiki is the energy of compassion which helps us to have compassion for others, but also for ourselves. Karuna helps us to become aware that we are all one. It is an extension of the Usui Tibetan System of Reiki, so students are required to have completed the Advanced Reiki Training in this before training in Karuna.
